Now part of the python3-dnf-plugins-core package so you don't need a
separate command. With the plugin installed it just runs automatically.

My only quibble is that it sometimes tells you (correctly) to restart
something where it's not obvious how to do this other than logging out
and in again, e.g. pipewire-media-session. If the plugin were better
informed about this kind of component it would be more user-friendly.
